you need to add gain to your plates.

easiest thing for you is going to be to make a set of analong plates with percent scales on them. Print the scales and read in the percentages you get off the press. Make a set of digital plates with no curves applied and run those. Then build a curve to adjust the results of the uncurved plates to match the gains you see on the analog plates.

I know it's over simplified and not the best way, but for your situation it may get you back to something normal sooner than later.
